We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
